AKA Holds “In Her Shoes” Fundraiser
Special to The Truth
Zeta Alpha Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority,
Incorporated® sponsored a fundraiser to help women and
families in crisis called “In Her Shoes.” This
fundraiser assisted those living in Rebekah’s Haven and
Family House Shelters by providing them with basic household
items as they start to rebuild their lives.

Since you can never truly appreciate a woman’s journey until
you have walked a mile in her shoes, guests wore their “most
fabulous” shoes and purchased gifts from a gift registry to
be donated to the shelters.
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® is a non-profit,
service-oriented organization, which was founded at Howard
University in Washington D.C. in 1908, with a current
membership of more than 250,000 throughout the world. Our
current multi-faceted goals are to promote economics, family
values, service, scholarship, health, cultural awareness and
entrepreneurial support in communities worldwide.
Prior fundraisers have permitted Zeta Alpha Omega Chapter to
provide over $180,000 in community service contributions and
scholarships for area students. Upcoming fundraising events
include the AKA Community Bowling Challenge in August and
the Fall Back to the 70s, 80s, 90s Dance which will be held
